It's Over

Aren't Sundays supposed to be relaxing days?

Today was one of the busiest & stressful Sundays. We had our primary program today. A lot of you are probably thinking, "we did ours forever ago." Our program was supposed to be UEA weekend, but was changed when we realized that a lot of people were going out of town!

I will not complain in the slightest that it was pushed back a month. We sure needed it! Our ward was split at the end of June & a new primary presidency & music leader (me) were put in during the month of July. This was the first program that any of us have been involved in...and oh, what a feat it was!

Despite having a so-so practice yesterday, the kids did an AWESOME job today. I had a lot of compliments at the end of the program. Even a few members of the stake primary said how good it was! I am sooo proud of all our primary kids, yes all 128 of them! I didn't realize how big our primary really was until I took a moment & looked on the stand and saw 128 pairs of eyes staring back at me. I was awe inspiring.

Ryan did an awesome job with his part & sang his little heart out, (at least for most of the
songs).

Most of Ryan's extended family came to see his first program ever! All his Grandpas & Grandmas, Great Grandma Kelley, most of his aunts, uncles & cousins. After church everyone came to the house for a wonderful lunch & social hour!

Although it was crazy & stressful, it was a ton of fun too!
I am the luckiest person to be able to do music with the precious primary kids!

The Primary Program is the one thing I DON'T miss about primary. That thing was so stressful every year! You guys did a great job...and I was content to sit in the audience and just enjoy it! :)
